As WFH said, its not so much a case of "weak signal" as too many reflected
signals.

Well, since Australia uses COFDM for digital TV, assuming that
station
is available in digital, just get a digital STB and you are in
business.

That's the Euro-DVB party line.

It's a lie. You still need signal!

That said, get a big Yagi as high as you can get, an
antenna mounted preamp, and see what you get analog. If it's
reasonably good S/N but somewhat ghosty, check up on their
digital and if they are on, go digital.

At least in the US digital TV is simply amazing ....
I'm getting reliable reception from a station with a path
loss of 183 dB (for a dipole receiving antenna of course),
using a big antenna and GaAsFet preamp.
